Properties of Concrete has been internationally acclaimed as the definitive work of reference on the subject for both the professional and student engineer. The fourth edition reflects advances in concrete technology over the past decade and still provides reliable, comprehensive and practical information on the properties and use of concrete, and the selection of mix proportions, all based on scientific observations and the author's extensive engineering experience.
Features:
The scientific basis of the information provided is invaluable in planning research and the interpretation of text results.
An integrated view of the properties of concrete enables the reader to achieve the best possible construction in concrete.
Includes a wealth of data from the latest relevant national and international standards and codes of practice.
New material includes such topics as various cementitious materials, high performance concrete, recently introduced admixtures, concrete under cryogenic conditions, properties of the aggregate matrix interface, and durability of concrete under extreme conditions.
